Cambridge, Mass. – University at Albany’s Corey Small has been chosen as the America East Conference Player of the Week in men’s lacrosse as announced on Monday, March 24 by the conference office. Small is the first Great Dane to be recognized this season.

Small, a junior attack from St. Catharines, Ontario, had four goals, including two in each half, in last Friday’s 10-2 upset win over Princeton, ranked No. 11 in both national polls entering the contest. He broke a 1-1 tie with his first goal of the game and then staked his team to a 4-1 halftime lead with an underhanded blast. Small scored off a rebound in the third quarter and finished off a fastbreak in the final period.

Small, whose goal output was one off his career-high, has netted three or more goals on eight occasions as a collegian. He currently leads the team in scoring with 12 goals and two assists and is seventh among the America East leaders at 2.33 points per game.
